| I'd feel a lot more unloved and unimportant if I new I was checking 
| my mail every minute and there was nothing there!
| 
| Imagine standing at the front door waiting for the door bell to ring, 
| opening it to see if your friends turned up, they haven't and closing 
| it again.  A few hours later you are still doing this.

What a silly analogy. A mail client automatically polling for emails
every minute is not even comparable to someone standing by a door on
opening it all the time.

Not sure why I am responding to this, but come on, really...
